having read the manual myself back in the day, your post is a bit misleading. we have a manual out there for just about anything. i'm sure on some shelf in the pentagon you will find documents on how to wage nuclear war. that doesn't mean that we are actively hoping and pursuing nuclear annihilation of other nations.
plus, fighting a counter-insurgency is hard, and often difficult. do you really think we would have much luck tracking down insurgents in afghanistan if we had to obtain a search warrant (by whom?) before we could kick open a door? the u.s. military isn't perfect, but i can assure you we do more than just about any other nation to fight our wars humanely an in respect to the laws of war. do we collectively fuck up now and again? of course. however we do not have an institutionalized organization bent solely on perversing human rights. hell if we did, iraq would have been carpet bombed into oblivion and the only thing you would see there now would be oil contractors and their bodygaurds.
